So I’ve been working on a remake of the first Half Life’s Crossfire map ever since Halo 5 forge showed up on PC. The first version is already on the content browser but is now going through a complete rework. I’m almost done with tweaked and spruced up version and after that I don’t know what I’ll do. Right now I have all this time thanks to winter break and I want to make another map but sadly I’m a bit stuck. I wanted to make a classic map from Quake 2 and possibly something from the new Unreal Tournament. I had a small list of maps written down that I hope transition well into Halo’s gameplay mechanics. It seems a bit stupid to make a poll but whatever. Take a pick on what I should make or if you want you can recommend a map from the two games. Just keep in mind that my forge skills are still a bit on the weak side, but as long as the map is not overly complex I should be able to do it.
This is the list I currently have so far:
The Edge (Quake 2)
Tokay’s Towers (Quake 2)
DM-CANNON (UT4)
Tokay’s Towers (Quake 2)
The Frag Pipe (Quake 2)
Lea Observatory (UT4)

That’s a good place to start. The layout requires moderate forging skills and is light on details. The issues I have so far with it is choosing a reference point to start (which is solved easily) and the fact that there are bodies of water that are part of the pathways. I know in Halo stepping in water at least waist high is instant death. Luckily I have a workaround for that, but I need to know if there are any area specific gravity modifiers so I can at least mimic the effect of swimming in water.

You could face the gravity slides straight up in rows to keep the Spartan afloat and bobbing in water.

That could work but won’t that just keep players stuck at a certain level? Hm, I could just tweak the pit so it will deep enough so that a player can jump in but still get out with a clamber, and at the end of the pipe in the same are I could just add a man-cannon to launch them into the hidden rail-gun room.
